Recommending the Fics of Awesomeness!  
Actually, it's an entire series. Aggie2011 has created a stunning universe with five multi-chapter stories and two one-shots. (She posted the first chapter in her sixth multi-chapter fic this morning.) It's a Clint-centric series in which Coulson is his best friend/big brother/father-figure, Natasha and Clint develop a deep, intense, healthy relationship, Clint and Tony become bffs, and all of the Avengers make an appearance. The entire series is beautifully written. There are a few editing errors, but they're negligible.

The author actually finishes writing her multi-chapter fic before she posts them and then posts a new chapter every morning until it's all up, so there are no delays in getting new chapters, which is beyond fabulous. :-)

- If you want to start with the first written, the fic set immediately post-film is Vantage Point.
- If you want to read them chronologically, the first story is Youngest in History, about how Coulson recruited Clint into S.H.I.E.L.D. and the two of them became friends. (No slash - just the world's best bromance ever.)
- If you want to test things out with something a little shorter, Arrow Man is a one-shot about the time that The Hulk gets all protective of Clint when Steve accidentally wings Clint during a sparring match. Clint then helps Bruce see the incident from a different perspective. It's awesome. :-)

If you go to the author's FF.net page, everything she's written is of course there, but the author also lists the titles, with summaries, of the other stories she is planning to write in this universe, in chronological order with everything she has already written. It's the icing on top of a yummy, delicious fic-cake. :D

Hey, it's Friday, so it's the day to share, and seriously, I'm running out of positive, hyperbolic adjectives. :-) The individual stories and the series as a whole are something special. :D And I love to share the fic love, b/c I love all the people in this bar and know how much they love the AWESOME! Have a great weekend!

I love her stories - she has such a well thought out backstory for Clint. And she updates constantly, always a plus.

I'm glad somebody else recommended her because I've been kind of meaning to. I love the universe she has created and especially the relationship between Phil and Clint. Youngest in History was what got me hooked and while they are all good, I think that one is brilliant. To me it is the best written Phil and Clint story out there. The only thing that bothers me about her is that she isn't writing her stories in chronological order. It doesn't make reading them hard, it's just my inner ocd cringes. You have to do things in order or else the god will be unhappy and my insides get all squirmy. :eye twitch: No, but she is really good and I can't recommend her enough. So great. Not to mention she writes insanely fast. I'm so jealous of her mad writing skills.

I'm picturing this little OCD imp running around in circles in your brain having been driven crazy by the posting of non-chronological stories. It's a very entertaining visual, I'm afraid. :D You painted a clear picture!

I definitely had to share the love here - I agree with you about it being the best Clint-Coulson relationship out there. It's just...well, it just is. :-) I'll have to go with that. LOL

Good luck, little imp!

I love the image of an imp running around in my head, that's what it feels like, lol. Running in circles, his arms flailing everywhere. I shall call the imp Barry and the next time something makes me uncomfortable because it's not in order or something, I'll just start whispering to myself "calm down Barry. It'll be okay."

And Barry will stick his tongue out at you. :ppppp Because he's like that, little snot.
